💖 PICOPROJ(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the picoproj manual page (that's section 1 of the manual, iykyk) — let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

picoproj — it's literally the test program for libam7xxx, no cap 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

picoproj [OPTIONS]

just the program plus whatever options your heart desires 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so picoproj(1) is the minimal little example showing you how to use libam7xxx to put a static image up on your screen-y device. it's giving "demo", not "production tool" — like, bestie, it does not do any image rescaling and it does not do any image conversion, periodt. so if your images are larger than the device's native resolution, they can end up displayed wrong. 😭 not me warning you about that before you even try it.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -d <index> — the device index. default is 0, so the first one it finds gets the vibe check 🍓
  • -f <filename> — the image file you wanna upload. this is the main character honestly 👑
  • -F <format> — the image format to use. default is JPEG 💜

SUPPORTED FORMATS:

  • 1 — JPEG 🎀
  • 2 — NV12 🦋
  • -l <log level> — how chatty libam7xxx output gets, a verbosity level from 0 to 5 📢
  • -p <power mode> — the power mode of the device, somewhere between 0 (off) and 4 (turbo) 🔥
⚠️ WARNING: Level 2 and greater require the master AND the slave connector to be plugged in. like, both of them. not just one. both. 🙈
  • -z <zoom mode> — the display zoom mode, between 0 (original) and 4 (tele) 🔍
  • -W <image width> — the width of the image you're uploading 📐
  • -H <image height> — the height of the image you're uploading 📏
  • -h — show the help message. short king behavior, we respect it 🫡

🌈 EXAMPLE OF USE 🌈

picoproj -f file.jpg -F 1 -l 5 -W 800 -H 480

look at her go 😌✨

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • 0 — Success. slay 💅
  • !0 — Failure (libam7xxx error). it's giving oops 😭
